REASONS TO VISIT SOUTH AFRICA
1. Adventure Combining great weather and a variety
of terrains (from snow covered moun- tains, forests, deserts, rivers, estuaries and two oceans), South Africa is the perfect playground for travel. From wa- ter sports, mountain climbing, jump and swinging tours, walks and hikes, fishing and ghost tours, there is most definitely something to get your blood pumping.
2. Ecotourism South Africa is the third most bio-di-
verse country in the world. The country encompasses about 480,000 square miles (1,200,000 km2) and has about 10% of all plant species on Earth. Add the hyenas, lions, hippopotamuses, rhi- nos, elephants, and giraffes to that and you have one of the most amazing des- tinations for photography and rubbing shoulders with nature.
3. The Wine Route The Eastern Cape’s wine route is a must
do for all visitors. It represents over 200 grape and wine producers and a heri- tage that goes back 350 years! Enjoy an enchanting drive through vineyard valleys of the historic wine-lands of Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek. Relax and meander through spectacu- lar mountain ranges and sample the best Cape wines in white-gabled Cape
Dutch homesteads. In Stellenbosch you can taste the products of a fermenta- tion and maturation art passed on from one generation to the next on at least 2 Wine Estates. Witness the wine-making process from the vineyard to bottling and spoil yourself with lunch in one of many French Restaurants in charm- ing Franschhoek. Then end your jour- ney with wine-tasting and goat’s-milk cheeses at Fairview Estate in Paarl.
4. World Heritage Sites World Heritage Sites recognise and
protect areas of outstanding natural, historical and cultural value. Given South Africa’s diverse culture and history and it’s spectacular natural wildlife,
resources and it is not surprising that South
Africa boasts 8 World Heritage Sites. They include the fossil hominid discov- ery sites at Sterkfontein and Swart- krans, apartheid prison Robben Island and the Greater St Lucia wetlands.
5. Music Festivals From Cape Town’s Rocking the Dai-
sies to Oppikoppi or Southern Cross to Splashy Fen, South Africa has some of the most outstanding music festivals. From dance to rock to folk to reggae, you will soon find out why they are re- garded as the Rainbow Nation.
Editors note Capetown = 24 Hour party town!! The most resilient, amazing people in the world.

With Valentines Day fast approaching, don’t just settle for a meal for two, pack up that handy hold- all and head for a weekend retreat. We have some of the best European breaks which will exhibit your romantic side. Paris is a city to fall in love in and there is a glow of Romance in the night skies of Paris. Stroll hand in hand through the Champs–Elysees and choose that Parisian café with the warm croissants and French aperitif. If the Colluseum in Rome has more appeal with it’s drenched history, Spanish Steps and imposing yet beautiful Colluseum ruins, then a picnic in the Stun- ning Neros Park could be just the city break for you. The building complex is worth a visit in itself as all rooms and hallways are lavishly decorated with mar- ble and frescoes, this alone is a breath taking sight. Bruges in Brussells is another one of the most beau- tifully preserved medieval cities in Europe. Visitors can explore the charming streets and canals. They’re packed with bijou little restaurants, atmospheric ca- fés and a cluster of interesting museums and church- es, or explore the just as stunning Antwerp. The climb to the top of the spectacular belfry tower is not to be missed and neither is a boat ride along the pictur- esque waterways of the old city. For the Museum mogles, we have amazing city breaks to Barcelona, where you can indulge in The Picasso Museum (Museu Picasso). Or, there is the Museum of Modern Art to mention just one of many attractions and museums in this modern world of preservation. City breaks do not have to always be about culture and romance. Although Prague has both and is a city that does not object to an all encompassing Prague clubs & nightlife scene. Prague clubs spin their tunes from dusk ‘til dawn, so whether you’re into seri- ous clubbing or just a late drink and a quick dancm, Prague is a good night out for one and all. Here at DreamBookers, we are the city break spe- cialists that can offer city breaks from £89pp. So dust off that holdall and have a break from the norm.
